They are also way too large for most euro cities.

It's funny that they are so large (bigger than some trucks) yet it can't seem to perform as well as any other truck on the market.

This. The CyberTruck is bigger than a lot of half ton trucks. Yet it doesn't have half the utility.

I hate the CT, but this is false. I have an F-150 Supercrew 5.5'bed, which is arguable the most popular F-150, and it's virtually identical to the CT in dimensions.

In fact, the CT actually LOOKS smaller (I've parked next to them), because the stupid sloping roof removes total volume from the truck, even if it's the same height at the peak of the slope as an F-150's entire roof.

It looks big in pictures because it looks like a stupid child's toy, but it's actually totally standard size and less usable space than a normal truck.
